Thom Filicia has always followed his own path

<p>Thom Filicia rose to fame after his appearance on the breakout hit <i>Queer Eye for the Straight Guy</i>, but his career began in the rarified world of New York’s most prestigious design firms, with stints working for Parish-Hadley, Robert Metzger and Jeffrey Bilhuber. Though Filicia found success on TV, he never left the design world behind, and he’s continued to take on projects, build a growing empire of licensed product, and open a to-the-trade showroom, Sedgwick and Brattle.</p><p>In front of a live audience at High Point Spring Market, Filicia spoke with host Dennis Scully about his intuitive approach to business, taking design beyond the 1%, and why he’s always relished ignoring convention and striking out on his own path.</p><p>This episode is sponsored by <a href="https://www.theshadestore.com/customer-service/to-the-trade">The Shade Store</a> and <a href="https://www.loloirugs.com/account/register">Loloi Rugs</a></p><p><i><strong>LINKS</strong></i><br /><a href="https://www.thomfilicia.com/"><strong>Thom Filicia</strong></a><br /><a href="https://www.instagram.com/dennisscully/">Dennis Scully</a><br /><a href="https://dashboard.simplecast.com/accounts/3ed13173-d92f-44f6-b8ce-d831e9672af7/shows/7a3106dd-e66b-4e68-9be2-0ac7b3125cc3/episodes/5d4c2a9c-d34c-48ec-97a4-3d8ee3084bb1/www.businessofhome.com">Business of Home</a></p>
